I’ve been making a version of these enchiladas almost every week for the past year. They are so tasty and you can really tweak the recipe to work with whatever ingredients you have. I think this recipe proves you don’t need meat to feel satisfied! I list very few quantities to keep the recipe flexible. Ingredients: Whole [...]

Easier, faster, healthier eggplant parmesan… from scratch!
Lately, I’ve had to find a new way to cook. I just can’t find the time to pick weekly recipes, make grocery lists, and shop for specific items. Rather, I have been memorizing my favorite recipes, going to the store list-less, seeing which ingredients are available, and buying what’s needed to make a seasonal recipe. [...]

My favorite Greek baked fish
This is one of the tastiest fish recipes I have ever had. We make it with orange, but the original recipe calls for lemon. If you have access to a whole fish, this should be your go-to recipe for it! Ingredients: 5 tbsp olive oil 2 onions, sliced 2 garlic cloves, chopped 2 carrots, thinly [...]

Homemade granola
I’ve been making this granola recipe for a couple months now. It literally takes 5 min to assemble, just over an hour to bake, and is so delicious. This is way cheaper than buying premade stuff and so much tastier. Make sure to add dried fruit after you bake the oats and nuts. Try changing [...]

This delicious summer salad is full of healthy ingredients and is vegan. Go easy on the dressing to make it “light.” It’s super [...]

Our sweet neighbors have been bringing us dinner to help out with the baby. Here is the recipe of one of our favorites. Dressing Ingredients: (I usually make only ½ dressing recipe—it is plenty! There is usually enough leftover to use as marinade for chicken, tempeh, tofu—good grilled & served with salad.) 1 cup seasoned [...]

What’s for dessert?
When my oldest was younger and didn’t know any better, we rarely finished dinner with dessert. When we did, it was usually fruit. Now we have a 5 and 2.5 year old and they ask “what’s for dessert?” almost every night. About half the time we have dessert, the other half I tell them not [...]

Can I have more salad please?
We made this asian cole slaw for lunch today and both my kids couldn’t get enough of it, probably thanks to the peanut dressing. But still, how often do a 2 and 5 year old love raw cabbage, carrots, and bell peppers enough to ask for seconds? Ingredients for dressing: 6 tablespoons rice wine vinegar [...]
